ADJUSTMENTS

CORRECT EXERCISE POSITION

In order to find a suitable exercise position, you can adjust the distance of the seat from the pedals. Always make sure before beginning exercising that your exercise position is correct.

1. Place your feet on the pedals.
2. Turn the seat adjustment knob anticlockwise and pull the knob outwards so that the seat can be moved freely.
3. Push the seat to a suitable distance; the ball of your foot should reach the pedal when your leg is almost fully extended and when the pedal is at its furthermost position from the seat. Check the suitability of the distance by pedalling anti-clockwise.
4. Release the knob when the distance is correct; the seat will click into position.
5. Tighten the locking knob by turning it clockwise.

You can select the inclination of the backrest to suit your own preferences as follows:

1. Go behind the equipment.
2. Pull the backrest inclination adjustment knob outwards so that the backrest can be moved freely.
3. Select the desired inclination.
4. Release the knob when the inclination is correct; the backrest will click into position.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is properly fastened before starting to exercise!

HANDLEBAR SETUP

Loosen the locking screws on the front of the handlebar support and find the right angle at which to position the handlebar. Tighten the locking screws.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is properly fastened before starting to exercise!

CONSOLE INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT

Set the inclination of the meter so that it corresponds to your height and exercise position.

ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPORT FEET

If the equipment is not stable, adjust the adjustment screws below the support feet as necessary.

EXERCISING

If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing screws under the rear support appropriately.

EXERCISE LEVEL

Working out with this device is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but you should not get out of breath during the workout.

You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low resistance, because for an overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can be increased gradually.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate.

HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP SENSORS

Heart rate is measured from the hands using the sensors located on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric impulses, which are formed when a person's heart beats. Measurement is started by touching both handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable heart rate measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin contact with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too dry or too wet, the heart rate measurement operation from the hands is less reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms relaxed and still.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the pulses from the heart to the console by means of an electromagnetic field.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1 m.

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement devices next to each other, the distance between them should be at least 1.5m . Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter should be within transmission range. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used

for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.

When selecting training attire, please note that some fibres used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electromagnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn't increase with added effort. If you don't know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

220-AGE

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven't exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER: 60-70% of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70 - 80% of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts
